  • Conservative MP says Canada is harming its relationship with the US by throwing an "anti-American hissy fit".

  • Food sovereignty isn’t that complicated.

    Here’s a clue: an unregulated market will undermine your food security and sovereignty, and prices are cheap until the market consolidates around the winners.

  • Every successful political resistance includes a healthy protest movement. It is necessary.

    • stop ignoring history of social change
    • pay attention to all the other important aspects of resistance that are building momentum and being set up
    • don't be a self-saboteur and plunge into pointless violence
    • apply pressure, including violence, in a disciplined and strategic manner
    • whining, whinging, and demanding bad strategy and worse tactics are a win for the opposition
    • everyone can contribute to resistance in many ways
    • a coordinated front is necessary, but also mass noncompliance and microresistance
    • get to work yourself in more constructive ways

    May I add that while the whole world is dealing with a surge in authoritarian bullshit, the particular case of the USA is going to require much more than just a shift in the political roster. The problem is deeply cultural, as evidenced by the hollywood style approach of so many armchair tacticians. Start there, and work on you and yours while also taking direct action.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  • Yeah the room is like a meta-cabinet.

    Your speaker strategy has to consider listening style (sitting, working, watching, ambient, etc.) and build from there: big stereo, small nearfield, flooded or point source, placement like height angle and and close or far to wall, audio style, resonance locations, materials in and on surfaces, etc..

    So two big towers or a bunch of wee little Kantos can be great or lousy depending on all that.

    Or you could just buy a couple of cheap pure silver speaker cables coated with gold and everything will be great.

  • In that sense the room is part of the transducer itself, yes, as the speaker cabinet supports the speaker driver, so do the walls and room size. Think of them as a system.

  • Holy shit english has so many specific terms for dirt! It's just jargon to urban dwellers.

  • HugeNerd is correct, 90+% of audio quality is in the mic and speakers. Transducers make electro acoustics real, everything else is support.

    Get really great used speakers cheap and an adequate amp just good enough to drive them. Your shit will sound excellent for anyone.

  • Arundhati Roy ‘shocked’ by jury’s Gaza remarks, quits Berlin film festival

  • Yes, and yet all the great novels are deeply political, in a philosophical sense.

    So is it taste? No, I think it’s more about honesty.

  • 6 dead, shooter dead, 25 injured in Tumbler Ridge B.C. school shooting

  • Wisely selective hunting in the absence of adequate predation can be important for an ecosystem, it's old wisdom. (Not that that is how hunting regulation works in Canada of course.)

    But in an interdependent origination view of living in a web, hunting like that is not totally different from how we manage plants that evolved with herbivorous megafauna. Those megafauna are extinct, so now part of the web is broken. So people coppice willows, and they live three times longer and are more resistant to disease. Pruning by teeth is what many deciduous trees and shrubs evolved for, so we have to fill the gap to get a really healthy orchard.

  • It was impossible to garden until we put up a skookum fence, and with only a few occasional predators (gulf islands) the deer are shrinking in size yet browse in greater numbers. The forests are out of balance because they are overbrowsed.

    Not much hunting locally due to restrictions, I think it was only shotgun slug and bow a few years back, and there's not much crown land around, so we have a bad deer problem.

    We pulled one part of the ecology out, predation, and people object to replacing it or any fix. It’s going to make wildfires worse and reduces biodiversity.

    Yes, that is one of the Warlords: The Great Filter timelines.

  • To be clear, different organic certification standards exist, and some, like oregon tilth, test soil for drift from the neighbouring fields. Part of why organic food is more expensive, it’s an externality from conventional agriculture.

  • What are some discord alternatives that we can suggest to our friends?

    Jump

  • Yes, our team uses it as a Skype/teams replacement, we pay $20 per month for a server on etke.cc in Germany. Their implementation, however, doesn’t seem to do group videocalls with screensharing, just group voice.

    We are not federated because it is just an internal service that we need.

  • Multiple fronts required. No one action will be the solution.

    • Vote to establish legitimacy.
    • Protest to register dissent.
    • Civic pressure to demonstrate conviction and organization.
    • Fringe 'performative' resistance to sow sone unrest and uncertainty and maybe inspire.
    • Some violence for fear, mostly aimed at inanimates.
    • In the street security details, like minneapolis.

    And most importantly, daily microresistance and malicious compliance, sabotage, redirection, and education.

  • Had to move a small team away from skype/teams quickly so renting dedicated matrix hosting in Europe and not federating the instance has been working great, except for some issues like group calls over jitsi not working properly and users reluctant to learn more odd interfaces.
